An Investigation On The Mineralogical, Petrogaphical And Chemical Properties Of Stone Objects From KaraEfe, Mehmet 01 February 2012 (has links) (PDF)
The archaeological and technical questions about ancient stone
tools lead to various research activities such as chemical and
petrographical analysis.
Considering research areas and publications it can be suggested
that mineralogical studies of stone samples of ancient stone tools have
disclosed useful information concerning identification of the stone.
Within this context, aim of this study is to determine the chemical,
mineralogical and petrographical identities of the stone samples of Karain
Cave (Antalya).
Most paleolithic caves show one specific time interval layer but Karain Cave
shows lower-upper and middle layers which give information about the
migration ways between Near East and Europe.
Stone tools excavated from Karain Cave are not only first human
remainings in Anatolia but also first artworks of Anatolian people.Most of
the stone tools excavated from Karain Cave are cherts. These cherts
were analysed for archeological aspects but mineralogical, petrographical,
and chemical contents have not been analysed yet. During the
excavations at the Karain Cave in Antalya many stone pieces in
different sizes and colors had been found. In this study ten samples were
examined. The methods used consists of thin section, X- ray powder
diffraction , scanning - electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive
X-ray analysis , differential thermal analyses and inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry to determine material characteristics of the
samples.
Petrographically the nine of the samples are chert with some including
radiolarian fossils. Microcrystalline á / - quartz is the major mineral in the
chert. Only one sample is composed calcite and is identified as micritic
limestone. Chemical analysis reflect the typical composition of chert with the
average values of / 40.9% Si and 1 sample is limestone, which is
composed of 35.7% Ca . Minor elements are Fe, Al, K, and Ti in the
samples. Thermal analysis is also supported the thin section studies.Further
research is suggested for provenance analysis of stone tools from the
Karain Cave.

L'avifaune du Pléistocène moyen et supérireur du bord de la Méditerranée européenne : Orgnac 3, Lazaret (France), Caverna delle Fate, Arma delle Manie (Italie), Kalamakia (Grèce), Karain E (Turquie). Paléontologie, Taphonomie et Paléoécologie.Roger, Thierry 09 July 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Ce travail consiste en une étude paléontologique, taphonomique, paléoenvironnementale et paléoclimatique de l'avifaune de six sites du Pléistocène moyen et supérieur de l'Europe méditerranéene. Ces sites sont le Lazaret, Orgnac 3 (France), Arma delle Manie et Fate (Italie), Kalamakia (Grèce), Karain E (Turquie). L'étude paléontologique de l'avifaune du Lazaret a permis d'identifier deux espèces nouvelles par rapport aux listes aviaires précédentes : Sterna sandvicentis et Calidris alpina. L'étude des restes d'oiseaux des sites de Karain E et Kalamakia apporte des données inédites sur les avifaunes du Pléistocène de Turquie et de Grèce. L'étude taphonomique montre que, dans les sites étudiés, le pigeon et le chocard ont, majoritairement, une origine naturelle. Au Lazaret, un rapace nocturne a aussi participé à leur accumulation dans la grotte. Les Galliformes sont apportés par un rapace nocturne. L'intérêt des hommes pour le pigeon biset dans un but alimentaire est attesté dans la grotte du Lazaret. Sa consommation par l'homme devait néanmoins être minime.
